HCHS netters sweep Fillies

 SHENANDOAH (Sept. 7) -- The Harlan Community volleyball team picked up its second 3-0 sweep in as many Hawkeye Ten matches Tuesday night, overpowering Shenandoah at the net for a 25-12, 25-19, 25-10 victory.
 HCHS improved to 7-4 overall and 2-0 in conference play going into Saturday’s South Central Calhoun “Master Blaster” Tournament at Rockwell City.

Claire Schmitz was 11-of-11 at the net with eight kills for an outstanding efficiency of .727. Shelby Sisson added seven kills and Delaney Wegner had four.
 First-year head coach Elle Crees pointed to a quick tempo and good team chemistry as the positives of the match.
 “It was great to see the girls play at a high tempo,” she said. “It is easy to get out of system and slowed down by other teams, and they kept the tempo rocking! What stood out overall was the way the girls played for each other. They had such a positive and competitive outlook on each point of the match and I couldn’t ask for much more than that."
 HCHS had a solid serve receive average of 2.38 (on a 3.00 scale) at Shenandoah, which allowed the offense to click.
